Not saying anything is good, just saying it’s entirely possible they do not have any more of these that are functional.

minus-squareProve_your_argument@piefed.sociallinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·2 months agoI don’t think there is any chance of nuclear war, or even a nuclear strike against ukraine by russia. There is far too much to lose for russia if they turn to nukes. the wind pattern would spread fallout to russia and belarus.
